Let's face it, any game can be "fun" if you go into it with the right mindset lol. So saying a game is fun doesn't really tell me anything because it's one persons opinion. To me (in my opinion) when I hear the word fun I automatically think arcady. I think Live always had that "fun" appeal to the casual fan because there's always been a heavy focus on dribbling & one on one play while the other core fundamental aspects of basketball has suffered.
To me it sounds like it'll come down to what type of gamer you are as to which game you prefer, which in the end is probably Live's best chance to succeed. The competition has simulation basketball on lock (although not without it's flaws), so in my opinion Live is better off trying to capture the more casual crowd who are just looking to have fun & prefer the more cartoony arcashish style game & not really focus on simulation aspects.
This is not to say that Live 15 won't improve on simulation fundamentals, but like the previewer said in a few posts earlier, it'll probably take Live at least 5 years to catch up & who knows how far advanced the other game will be by then. The main area I want to see improvement in Live 15 is player movement & animations. If this area has improved significantly then I'll have hope for Live going forward. Again this is just my 2 cents

With all due respect, I don't want to sit and play any videogame if it isn't fun. If I'm playing videogames in what little spare time I have, I want it to be an enjoyable experience. Your opinion of what "fun" seems to mean, isn't what mine is. I don't want a dunk fest, arcade ball with simulation sprinkled in. I want a Simulation experience that I can control, with AI tendencies actively trying to defeat me. That, to me, is fun.
I'm assuming since he said he was admittedly a 2k fanboy, the ability to have fun with Live is because he saw sim aspects, since 2k seems to be the standard for Simulation basketball.
Regardless, if it's available for you to try when it releases either on Access or Demo form, I'd encourage you to do it.
